Out With The Old, In With The New

God Morgon!!!!

The Quote of the week kind of a sad one, it was after my last interview
without dear and beloved President Newell. “After we leave on Saturday, we will be silent. No contact, not a word. But when you get off the plane,
you’re going to wish I would shut up!"

This is going to be the last week with President Gregory J. Newell. This is the weirdest thing ever. We will be having one last zone conference which will be having 111 missionaries from all over the country. It will be the last goodbye for him. Then, we will be getting ready for President Beckstrand.

But in other news as you can see it was Midsommarafton, a crazy celebration in Sweden where everyone gets wasted and dances around a pole. (I can explain it better later.) Got to spend a day, having a good time with some old friends doing some crazy old Swedish traditions. (We didn't drink... just so you know.)

Then on Sunday, I was able to go to a baptism in Jakobsberg of a man that I taught a lot. He is planning on moving to Utah soon, so those of you out there will probably get to meet him. (He believes Utah is small so he wants to meet all of my friends and family.) It was just one of those tendermercies, to see how happy he was. He had worked so hard to be baptized and now he was able too! Helped me really remember the reason why I am here. To simply help others, and the best way to do that, is through the Gospel. I am so happy to be there for that. I am so happy to be here in Sweden at this time. This is where I want to be.

This week is going to be STRESSFUL with the new mission President and all, but I know no matter what the Lord has got our backs.

Love you all have a great week,

Elder Tyson Danger Haddon
